The Bridgend Designer Outlet, also known as McArthurGlen Designer Outlet (and known locally as "The Pines"), is a commercial retail park and outlet store development in Bridgend, Wales, United Kingdom. It is owned and operated by McArthurGlen Group.

History

[edit | edit source]

The development is situated on Junction 36 of the M4 motorway between Cardiff and Swansea. It first opened in 1998.[1] It consists of around ninety different stores which offer discounts off brand and designer labels. An array of goods are available including clothes, toys, books and electrical products.

A food court was opened in 2011, and a play area added in 2015.[2] In 2014 the Outlet underwent a makeover and five new stores opened in 2015, including Ernest Jones, Calvin Klein, Henri Lloyd, Le Creuset and Snow + Rock. [3] The outlet's facelift cost £2.5million. A total refurbishment of the food court is due to start soon.[4]
